10 millionth UK broadband connection
BT Group is set to connect its 10 millionth UK household by the end of this week, as strong broadband uptake continues in the UK.
Most of those households are customers of providers other than BT Retail, like Pipex, AOL and Virgin, who are themselves customers of BT Wholesale. BT Retail has about 3 million customers.
It seems that Britain’s love affair with broadband has not dampened. 69% of internet connections are now via broadband.
